This ring, made by a Diné silversmith of the Navajo Nation, has a flat silver platform on which was mounted a stunning agate stone in tones of brown. Outlining the edge of the silver platform are silver dots pressed from the opposite side. The agate is mounted in a silver bezel. Minor stamping appears on the tops of the band. Stamping and incising were held to a minimum as the agate needs no competition. It stands alone.
